Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Thursday's here and while I finishing scoffing down my zabaglione , I can tell you that Nikki is just 3 wins away from giving us back-to-back female octochamps, which has not been done since.......... Julia Wilkinson & Grace Page back in Series 47/48 in 2002.
I'll be around later with my not quite yet Pointless recap.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
2nd numbers, surprised Rachel didn't get that, though presumably she will when back from the break...
Anyway, 75 x2 -7 -1 = 142, x3= 426, -10 = 416

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Yeah got that the way Rachel did it albeit well after the 30s. (should be seeing it in 30 really).
Thought Nikki was really good there, prob her best performance so far, shame about the missed eights in 1 and 2 though.
Educate in round 6.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Guess you see some quick and you don't others, I just thought 75x6 and then it was pretty damn easy.
Also - third numbers. Got that one too! Though admittedly it took about 45 seconds.
7*6 + 50 = 92, x9 = 828, +7 = 835

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Well done Nikki, though you should learn RETAINS+ so you get instant 8s like in round 1 today (SENORITA is the third
answer to RETAINS+O). Another alt to the second numbers is making 52 and 8 and mulitiplying them. MOLLIES as
an alt to HOLLIES in R3 and VOLUMES to FULSOME in R9.

WTF. I just posted that solution but my post has been eaten!! I have no idea why that happens sometimes. I press submit and then some time later I realise it never actually got posted.Matt Morrison wrote:Guess you see some quick and you don't others, I just thought 75x6 and then it was pretty damn easy.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Probably because I got there first so it came up with the "someone has posted since you started writing - please review your post" page and you just navigate away, assuming it's the "post submitted" success page instead. I do that quite a bit, anyway, that's what it usually is for me.Karen Pearson wrote:WTF. I just posted that solution but my post has been eaten!! I have no idea why that happens sometimes.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Nikki seems to alternate between strong performances and less impressive performances each day.
WAITRONS in round 1, FENDERS in round 2.
2nd numbers alt: (((75-7)x3)-1)x2+10=416
When was the last time Rachel failed to solve any of the numbers games in the 30 seconds?

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
I'm presuming apterous has it right - senorita is no longer valid. It's just notarise/notaries (not sure when the change came in). Senhorita is valid as an alternate to hortensia.Tony Atkins wrote:SENORITA is the third answer to RETAINS+O.

And pray, what is the logic in allowing the Portuguese form, but not the Spanish? And you are expected to know these anomalies?Andy Platt wrote:I'm presuming apterous has it right - senorita is no longer valid. It's just notarise/notaries (not sure when the change came in).

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Exactly, the senorita thing seems a bit inconsistent compared to stuff like PINATA, which is apparently okay without the 'enya' accent.

I think the reason SENORITA isn't allowed now is that it's capitalised, although why the same isn't true for SENHORITA I don't know.

Because SENHORITA is Portugese, but Mike made this same point in February, so it's a mystery.........Innis Carson wrote:I think the reason SENORITA isn't allowed now is that it's capitalised, although why the same isn't true for SENHORITA I don't know.
PANDECT in round 6, PEROGI in round 13.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Yes, Senor, Senora and Senorita are now disallowed because they're capitalised, but the aitchified versions of them are still okay. Accented letters don't cause a word to be disallowed.
VOLUMISE in R9, TRAITEUR in R12.
